Vultures arrive on land.  

Did You Know?
Vultures do not have many predators. If an enemy does approach, the vulture will face its enemy and projectile vomit. This inventive bird also has a unique way to stay cool: it urinates on its legs. The urine also helps kill any germs picked up while treading through a carcass.
